Spanking Your Child In Public by saintvc(m): 8:28am On Aug 15, 2012
I was headin from work two days ago in d popular A y a junction in abuja . I saw a woman with a tree branch beating and yelling at a boy of about 9 years. Her voice was so loud. She flogd d boy all over his body .the boy helplesly cried out loud.

Though i couldnt inquire what he did as to ascertain why she had to react d way she did.

I was never beaten in public wen growin up as a kid and so find it awkward. What about u? D u spank ur child in public? Have u bin spank? D u suport it?

What could a 9 years old child do to deserve :
Being spanked with a possibly rough tree branch.
Spanked on the road.

The mom failed to nip whatever bad trait the boy had in the bud and now is trying a tad to late to correct it, and going about it in the wrong way.
I won't be caught dead shouting at or spanking @ my child on the road. It depicits a picture of a mad, failed mom and a poorly trained child. I can correct my child on the road sha.

I will only spank my kid publicly if he/she disrespects someone publicly.

This is african and our kids should be raised in an african way which spanking cannot be ruled out. As a matter of fact it is a vital ingredient in raising up a child in africa and nigeria in particular..spare the rod and spoil the child.

Let her come and try dat in the UK and she will never smell (talkless of seeing) the child again. Infact the correct usage of spank is to use your palm to slap a child at his buttock but to descend to using a branch of a tree (stick) to beat ur child in the public is barbaric. i dont subscribe to that, i will rather use my voice to correct the child

Have a child really annoyed you publicly? I guess not. If not, you will never have opened this thread. Quote me, a little spanking, if required, is a good remedy anytime, anyplace, anyday!

Re: Spanking Your Child In Public by Nobody: 6:29pm On Aug 15, 2012
I would STRONGLY suggest that you never spank your children in public... EVER!!! I have to say I believe in spanking to a certain degree. I try never to spank out of anger. But the reason why you should never spank in public is because there are some people are really against it and will report you. I have seen it so many times and also I have seen some people just start yelling at the spanking mom and threatening her and embarrassing her. So I would never want to experience that. I would just take my child out of public and deal with the behavior there.

There are different levels of spanking. What I would do if the child provokes me to high extent is moderately tap him/her at the head or back.

She's by no means a sane Mum, or, dare I assume/say, she ain't his biological Mother?

Re: Spanking Your Child In Public by 2sa2: 6:51pm On Aug 15, 2012
spare the rod and spoil the child. probably the child has become resistant to mere spanking hence the mom had to use what he would respond to. #judge the mom not#

I've spanked my sibling in public (the store) before.

Children think they can misbehave in public places thinking they have witnesses who can "rescue" them. It's better to let them know that "witnesses" won't stop ya.

I don't mean take-out-the-belt-and-start-whopping kinda beating o. A few slap on the azz won't kill anyone cool

Will I beat my child in Public? Best believe it!

most kids misbehav more when you're out with them...they believe you won't punish them out there, so they can do whatever they please...

its important to remind them once in awhile that you as a parent is still in charge...

believe me, whatever that kid did to warrant such punishment, he'd never try it again...

Re: Spanking Your Child In Public by zsch: 6:59pm On Aug 15, 2012
I find it a chore to even shout at people how much more to beat.

Does she know how many times her husband would have loved to beat her but reigned it in. Women that beat in such a manner should get a grip

I can't believe people born in this country are sounding as if they were given birth to in western world,so you mean if my child misbehave publicly,I should take him to a secret place and discipline him,God I will never do that,even the bible said Spare the rod and spare the child,this is the same reason,I didn't allow my kids to grow up in the states,I remember when I was a child,my mom (my mentor) can discipline me anywhere,so tell me why I can't discipline my child in the open,when he misbehave in the open.Pls for christ sake we are Nigerian's and we should learn to behave like one.Thank you
